I'm using a vLinker MC+ Bluetooth+BLE device together with Car Scanner (Pro) on my Android smartphone. The connection via BLE works fine in principle, where I selected the "vLinker MC-IOS" in the Car Scanner settings, since no specific ANDROID connection is shown (for BLE). 
Having successfully started, I can have long and short rides, where the vLinker is automatically reconnected after a break of e.g. one hour for shopping etc. Data recording is continued then. That's fine so far. Only if I want to reconnect after a whole night, where the vLinker has fallen asleep in the meantime, I can't succeed to wake the vLinker up with my smartphone. So I always need to unplug the device and plug it in again, which is a little annoying with my car. After that the vLinker gets recognized and reconnected automatically - without any further steps necessary).
As far as I understood, device wake-up should be one of the favourite features of Bluetooth LE. Can anybody tell me what I might be doing wrong, do I e.g. have to change any of the default settings in the Car Scanner app?

Thanks for any idea which could help.

Hello.
1. you can find the vLinker MC-Android's bluetooth directly in Android, but you need to press a button on the device first when the bluetooth blinks fast to find it
2. vLinker MC+ has an automatic wake up function, you can upgrade the version of the device firmware to the latest first, if it still can't wake up automatically, you can wake up by button, just press the button and the device will wake up directly.

Thanks a lot. 
I have updated the firmware to its latest version (v2.2.90) before already, so this is not the point. I will try again to connect by pressing the button on the vLinker first (which I tried already but didn't work at a first glance). However, this is not what I would understand from an auto-wake-up.

I tried to press the button and also tried to use different options in the connection menue but I didn't succed finally. I always need to unplug the device for the first use on a day. Using it once again after a few minutes or an hour works fine. However, on the next morning, again it cannot be connected :-(.
Btw, even if the device is showing led lights, it is not possible to activate the BT connection, neither using BT4.0 nor using BT3 (my smatphone supports both).
I have no idea what I could still try out...
